American stock market indices were on the rise due to purchases by active traders following a slight dip from recent highs. Analyzing the S&P 500 index chart, a sideways trend with a range from 4950 to 5200 points is noticeable. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 has gained +7%, and over the last six months, it has risen by +22%. Considering that expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have shifted from June to September, a correction may occur in the US stock market as investors previously had more optimistic forecasts for the pace of rate cuts. Confirmation of these trends can be seen in the increase in the yield of 10-year US bonds by 30 basis points in the last month to 4.6%.
